Case description

It is important to keep the lesion non-dependent before undertaking EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection). Flush fluid and see if the lesion is dependent or not. If it is in dependent position, then turn the patient to make the lesion non-dependent before EMR (because bleeding source could be difficult to identify as blood pools over). If the lesion is in non-dependent position, bleeding source could be easily identified as blood runs away from source instead of pooling.
